Our program is a recreational yet competitive swim team. Current Club members between the ages of 5 to 18 are eligible, and the youngest
participants must be able to swim the length of the training pool with side breathing and without stopping. We are one of five teams who
compete in the Valley Aquatic League.
The League’s purpose is:
INFORMATION: A registration packet will be available at the Front Desk in March. Only completed applications
(full payment, Parent Job Registration & Waiver) will be accepted.
SIGN UPS: Sign ups are divided into two priority groups. All sign ups within each group are first come, first serve. We hope everyone who
wishes to return will be able to do so. If the roster (130 swimmers) fills before you can register your child, your child will be placed on the
alternates list. Alternates will train with the team and will attend all social functions, but will have second priority on meet sign-ups. The last
day to drop from the team (with coach’s approval) and receive a full refund is two weeks after first day of practice.
PRACTICE REQUIREMENTS: Swimmers are strongly encouraged to attend at least three practices per week for 10 and under age
groups, and four practices per week for 11 and older age groups, as well as represent the team at all meets. Eligibility for our league
Championship Meet requires that a swimmer swim in at least two (2) league meets during the current season.
The numerous details of Swim Team will be discussed at the Mandatory Parent Meeting held the week prior to start of practice at 5:00 pm. Parents
are required to work at all meets, including the Championship Meet. Parents will also be asked to donate an item, i.e. baked goods, to the
team’s snack bar at home meets and the Championship Meet. Money earned from the snack-bar sales is used to purchase needed equipment
for the team.
